I weigh myself daily because if I don't, I tend to get off track. How about you?

    I weigh myself once a week. I've heard that some people do it twice but I rather do it once so i dont have to focus on looking at the scale. I can focus on maintaining my diet and exercise and then make necessary changes from there.

    Normally once a week, but this week twice as I restarted my diet mid-week and my normal weigh-in day is Sunday.

    Once a week, sometimes longer. I measure myself every other week.

    I've been weighing myself daily but it's kinda putting me off as I want to see changes every day and as I'm doing some intense workouts the scales don't always go down. So I think I might go back to once a week... can't resist those scales though!

    everyday so i dont go off track like yourself but I techincally weigh in on MFP once a week on a sunday. I think to many people on MFP log how much they lose every 2 days on MFP and i think that is too OTT.

    I used to weigh daily or once every other day. I reached a point where I was getting mad because my weight would fluctuate so much, which is normal, that I quit weighing so often. Now I only weigh like once every few weeks. I have reached the point to where I am just about where I want to be, and now I just weigh out of curiosity.

    Daily, I log when I lose weight but if I fluctuate I don't log the gain, I just wait until I lose again.

    Everyday, Otherwise I get paranoid I've put on. Only log once a week though and I don't worry if the scale goes up inbetween

    Daily. Because it keeps me on track. I avg over a week and don't count it as loss or gain unless I'm above my highest/ or lower than my lowest for the past week.

    Once a week on Wed Morning. Every once in awhile, I do in between as well.

    If you see yourself obsessing over the scale, you probably should stop using it for a while. I heard that measurements are more accurate anyway. :)

    I used to weight myself several times per day, but I would frequently get discourage at the sight of normal fluctuations; to that end, I now only weight myself once per day. Ideally, I would only weight myself once per week, but I don't have enough self-control to do that...

    I have been doing it every day but I find it's too discouraging. I am now moving to the once a week system.
